Aha, thanks for letting me know that! I wondered if I'd missed some important quest or something in the (like 35 playthroughs of Oblivion), lol.





These screens are stunning! What an amazing rig you must have! I'm torn between "Man with a plan" and "The Saga" as my favorites, but I also love the "Thought I heard something" because of her hair, it is so shiny and that is most def not vanilla, what mod is that? Love that hair!

Awesome shots, Renee!

Yeah, the lighting below Saga in the second pic ... that's one of those shots I used to take with cell cameras when I was gaming on consoles, and it would look great while I was gaming, but too washed-out once I got it up on Photobucket. XD

mALX: I believe that's Coolsims hair. I was trying to find something which would make Sarah look like a maid, or something. Longish hair, but pinned up somehow, ha ha.

Thanks y'all.

Many nice screenies coming up here, sorry for not addressing them...

I expected to see Kahreem in the Man with a plan screenies. But it's good to see Snaaty leading his gang.

Must have been the wind is a great shot, with the purple magic and hanging traps behind her.

The curse of Vitharn has been lifted

Goodbye to once-forsaken Keep

Flesh Atronach defeated

Meeting a friend

The Pinnacle Rock

"No entry for you. Mortal."

Renee, some nice, creative shots there as SubRosa mentioned. Some fun angles and lighting.

Lopov, that Viltharn quest is a neat one. And poor Yngvar. . . he's essential I guess, but his gear isn't. I remember Buffy would always stop and repair his gear when she encountered him.

Wow, I LOVE the lighting in Goodbye to Forsaken Keep. That's so pretty. I bet you didn't augment that either, right?

Yiich, flesh atronachs. That is what I shall say to reaction! when did you take these pics? Are you active right now? Or are these older pics?

And yeah, Must have been the wind is spooky right? I don't remember what caused that purple, whether it was a friend or foe.

Thanks Acadian.

These are some of my favorite quests in SI! And you caught a screen of Doom-Sayer! Killing the flesh atronach shows your character's face, he is handsome! Woo Hoo!

Great shots!

Thanks all!

@Renee - these are "old" pics, taken on the 25th of May respectively. However, I did some gaming with Vion today after a long pause and as soon as the session started, we both felt an unpleasant, oppressing feeling in the Shivering Isles. So the Count's son is about to leave the Isles, he's already back in Passwall where he'll rest and leave the Mad Land tomorrow. He doesn't know yet what will he do in Cyrodiil (returning to Bravil - to his father's town, is out of question) but there are plenty of things to do elsewhere for the young adventurer. Towards the unknown is even more exciting.

"The world is coming to an end. But it's nothing to worry about!" Got to love optimism!

Looks like in spite of their name, those Dark Seducers don't want any manflesh in their private base. No man cooties!

Ha ha SubRosa!

Lopov: Well as long as he stays away from the land of his faRther, I think he will be okay.

Some time ago Vion already had troubles "evading" a certain lady from Bliss. He was unsure what to say to reaction.

@Renee - yeah, he'll make sure to stay away from his FARTher.

Anyway, time for fresh screenies:

Swimming in the Isles is the quickest and safest shortcut to the outside world

As soon as Vion was back in the Fringe, passing a now-dead Gatekeeper, he felt better because he was one step closer to Cyrodiil. Memories from the painful battle with the Gatekeeper were still very much alive.

The sun was just setting as he arrived to Passwall, the last stop before leaving the Shivering Isles. He decided to spend a night in the Wastrel's Purse and continue his march out of the Isles the next day.

More nice shots of Vion. Looks like he has the Lothran 'Gotta Getoutta Here' disease. That's good I figure, as it gets him out of the SI before he goes crazy. He really does look like his dad - only a lot better. Just ask that Altmer in Bliss.

Hoo ahahh.... Swimming in the Isles. Look at that. LOok at those colors. Yeah, I need a vacation.

Do they have horses in Shivering Isles? Or something more bizarre? Either way, make sure you check the hooves on whatever hooved beast you've got. Especially if Vion gets insulted or taunted by someone.

Off to Cyrodiil to get some fresh air? My character Morrigan - who explored the entire Isles - enchanted a pair of boots with water walking to get around easier.

These are some great shots, really represent the "feel" of the Isles; and Vion being barefoot accentuates that sensation. Really great shots!






When they take Passwell off the map and block you from it after you kill the Gatekeeper; is it possible to walk/swim around to Passwell and access the portal to Cyrodiil or have they put up primitives around the water side too?

I've tried doing that before, but can't remember if I was able to reach it or not. Has anyone else tried it?

There are always collision boxes blocking the Fringe worldspace from the rest of SI, as much so you can't jump out in the early game as against jumping in later.

You can swim complete around the outside of the Fringe, and land on the other side, but there's no back door to use. The only connectors are the Mania and Dementia gates.

The inside of the Fringe is/are two separate worldspaces, and the doors get swapped to go the "ordered" copy during the related quests. Open Cities does not do an Open Fringe! (Although I do run with an Open New Sheoth). If you go tcl-flying, you'll find an empty Fringe in the SI worldspace.

Nice screenies


There seems to be a trend here; leaving Shivering Isles

Well that is really interesting to learn! I never had Shivering Isles for my PC, only for my 360 game, so had no way to check it out except swimming (which I had done, but couldn't remember the result of - and now have no way to check it out again since my 360 broke a year ago).

Thanks Ghastley!

Thanks all again.

The following morning was rainy but this didn't stop Vion from leaving the Shivering Isles. Putting his hood on, he walked through the Fringe to the portal to Cyrodiil.

And was pleasantly surprised when he found that weather in Cyrodiil was all but rainy.

He swam over the Niben and met some Bravil locals on their usual Sundas hunt. They chatted for some time, and told Vion that his father officially cut him out of his will on the day he left Bravil. But even more shocking were news of the Emperor's death.

He ventured north, exploring Robbe's Glen Cave on the way and stopped at Faregyl Inn to spend a night. The following morning he killed the Potato Snatcher, an Ogre responsible for stealing Jumbo Potatoes from S'jirra the Khajiit cook.

Later on he bought new clothes and sat on a wall outside the inn until sunset, feeling good being back in Cyrodiil. He decided to stay at Faregly Inn for some time.

I have never seen them do that!!
